Customer Question

I am on F1 OPT...

I am on F1 OPT with my wife in the US. I want to invite my mother first for 3 months and mother-in-law (both are in India) after that on tourist visa.Will it affect their chance if I successively sponsor/sign affidavit of support for them?Also, my mom's brother (my uncle) is a US citizen. Would it be better(increase chance for my mother to get tourist visa) for him to sign the affidavit of support instead of me?

Experience: She has worked on all types of U.S. Immigration cases since 2007.

Hello, my name is ***** ***** I will be the immigration attorney helping you today.

It may be more helpful for her brother, your uncle, to sign the affidavit of support since he is a US citizen and not paying for school I presume. You, as a F1 student, have to prove that you can support yourself and pay for your studies so that may not be so helpful in petitioning for others.

Good luck to you during this process and I hope this answer has helped you!
